Oberlin Providence Reviews
Disappointed Despite the Hype
After reading all the glowing reviews, I took my partner to Oberlin for her birthday. We're not picky eaters, but unfortunately, one dish was overwhelmingly salty; it tasted really off, so we barely touched it. When I mentioned this to the serve
Such a cute and classy date spot.
The restaurant is on the smaller side, so reservations are definitely the way to go--but if you can't snag one, try walking in right when they open; I've had luck with that before. Parking is all street, so plan a few extra minutes. The fo
Our first time at Oberlin and it won't be the last.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. We picked the perfect night so the outdoor windows were open and it felt like one big indoor/outdoor space. The service is incredible. It's friendly and welcoming and attentive but not overbearing or pretentio
We were a walk-in.
Oberlin attracted us of its indoor outdoor dining vibes, especially with beautiful summer weather. The food is very creative and tasty. The highlight is Madeline. She is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable waiting staff we have ever met, es
The place is beautiful and outdoor seating is lovely.
Service was very attentive and friendly. There was an accident happened right next to us with a couple, but because I'm not the person experienced it so will not go into details. Food was good but not great. If you like more mild flavor food a
The patio area was perfect for group drinks and some apps.
The focaccia is delicious. As it got closer to dinner time it got very busy so keep that in mind but this was perfect for us to grab afternoon drinks. Service was quick. Nothing to write home about but I wouldn't mind going again. The entrees sm
Here's a quick way to lose customers.
Make them feel stupid because they were walking to the bar which had several open seats. With 24 years of hospitality experience I am aware in a hospitality setting to never be a burden or be a needy customer. Maybe a sign or greeter not just a hoste
I was expecting far more from Oberlin.
I've ready many reviews and really looked forward to this experience. The drinks were ok, the food was ok, and the service was eh at best. We had a charcuterie board and some pate, both of which you could get better in the same area. Disappoin
Oberlin is easily the single most unique culinary
Oberlin is easily the single most unique culinary experience I have ever had to date and I have been around a lot! Oberlin literally means "nobel or bright" and does not fail to live up to its namesake. It's as if Grandma grabbed a fin

We have wanted to try this place for a while, and I am glad that we finally did. It was a large space that was open and airy. Lots of light to brighten things up. They had an outdoor area as well that was large and enclosed. There was a decent-sized

This is a true 10/10 restaurant! Its casual atmosphere bested only by the simplicity of the culinary approach. Boundaries are pushed ONLY where truly creatively valuable, and the choices are all bold and respectful. Fish crude is simple perfection
Maybe the best meal of my life
I am not a foodie so I had my reservations about Oberlin but everyone told me I had to go and my husband really wanted to go so we went. And it was impeccably amazing and my favorite meal. The tempura skate cheeks were perfectly cooked and the piri
100/100 - Absolutely Fabulous!
First time visiting Oberlin and we weren't disappointed. DuMol wine dinner was fantastic. All the dishes were beautifully presented, very innovative with wonderful flavors. We especially enjoyed the sea bass and apple crudo paired with a light a
Great dinner place
Accidentally passed by and got a seated at the counter as it was fully booked. The welcome was very nice and we sat right in front of the oven where the magic happened. The cook working there is a genius. What he did with the ingredients was marvello
Brunch here
Great staff with great atmosphere. Stopped in for brunch and sat at the bar. Staff was very friendly and ask if I wanted recommendations, which I took. Settled on pancakes and it was delicious. Several options I was interested in and will go back. Do
Fancy and delicious!
This is one of the fanciest restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. The food was eclectic and delicious. We ate “family style” as our waiter suggested. The entire family had a fantastic time. Get the raw fish sampler! It was just over $100 and worth ev
Food was outstanding
Ordered takeout; actually wish I had eaten at the restaurant. I was staying at a nearby hotel by myself, so I opted for takeout instead of solo dining. Loved the vibe of the restaurant though and wish I had just gone to eat there. The food smelled
Excellent food & service, gorgeous space
Fresh, local ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious and plenty of vegetarian options. Excellent, knowledgeable service. The pictures seem outdated bc the food & new space are gorgeous! They do a really good job at Oberlin.
Bookend restaurant, beginning and end superb.
Very expensive $105 per person, delicious unusual raw fish appetizers and unusual salads, great warm focaccia, and superb desserts. Carbonara meh.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Oberlin Providence at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Oberlin Providence page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Oberlin Providence to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Oberlin Providence!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
